OK so this something I have believed in for a really long time. Just as there are natural born singers, dancers, pianists there are also natural born cooks. These are people who just have an intrinsic love and understanding of food. They just know what will happen when you add thyme to garlic and can conjour up delicious combinations in their own head.
To me cuisine is an art form where you just have to be talented and gifted and although years of practise and consulting recipe books will result in a well trained cook, there is nothing which will substitute the magic that occurs when you are a natural born cook.
Baking on the other hand I have heard is a science and with the right recipe you will never go wrong. In a way this is true but I still feel that something within you gets transferred to what you cook.
Natural born cooks rarely go wrong and even with limited resources can create masterpieces. They know exactly what is wrong with a dish and how to fix it.
I now wonder which category I fall into!
